Great Egg Toss Day - in 1981 that Risto Antikainen threw a fresh egg 317 feet, 10 inches, to Jyrki Korhonen. But, there is other evidence that a Guinness World Record was set in 1978 with a throw of 323 feet, 2 inches, in a toss from Johnny Dell Foley to Keith Thomas. This was listed by Guinness World Records until 2000, when they removed egg tossing from their book.

Wind turbines could be given a truly sweet second life thanks to a new discovery from engineers in the US.
They have invented a new type of resin, the material that coats turbine blades, that could be reused to make countertops, car tail lights, power tools, diapers, and even gummy bears.
The breakthrough, from chemical engineers at the University of Michigan, could hold the key to one of the biggest challenges that comes with wind power: how to recycle turbine blades, which can be half a football field long.
Chemical engineers at the University of Michigan, USA, have developed a new, recyclable composite resin that could be used to make turbine blades.
Once the blade is decommissioned, the resin can be recycled into household items and sweet treats. Or it can be dissolved and made into new turbine blades, according to research published by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
"A carbon atom derived from a plant, like corn or grass, is no different from a carbon atom that came from a fossil fuel," he says. "It's all part of the global carbon cycle, and we've shown that we can go from biomass in the field to durable plastic materials and back to foodstuffs."
